Q. Assertion :If the ice on the polar caps of the earth melts, then length of day will increase. Reason: Moment of inertia of the earth increases, as ice on polar caps melts.

Q. Assertion :If polar ice melts, days will be longer. Reason: Moment of inertia increases and thus angular velocity decreases.

Q. Find the imaginary angular velocity of the earth for which the effective acceleration due to gravity at the equator shall be zero. In this condition, find the length (in hours) of a day also.
